in Kirjatharba
<07153>_;

the same [is] Hebron
<02275>

in the land
<0776>

my lord

<08432>_:

in the choice
<04005>

of our sepulchres
<06913>

bury
<06912> (8798)

thy dead
<04191> (8801)_;

none
<03808> <0376>

of us shall withhold
<03607> (8799)

from thee his sepulchre
<06913>_,

but that thou mayest bury

<01696> (8762)

with them, saying

<05315>

that I should bury
<06912> (8800)

my dead
<04191> (8801)

out of my sight
<06440>_;

hear
<08085> (8798)

me, and intreat
<06293> (8798)

for me to Ephron
<06085>

the son
<01121>

<07097>

of his field
<07704>_;

for as much
<04392> (0)

<03701>

as it is worth
<04392>

he shall give it

<06085>

the Hittite
<02850>

<08179>

<05892>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

{audience: Heb. ears}

23:11

Nay
<03808>_,

my lord
<0113>_,

I it thee: bury

in the audience
<0241>

of the people
